I recently bought a HD7 in pretty bad shape, with no SIM or SD card reader, and lots of cracks and scratches as a project, after a bit of work and a few replacement parts, its working perfectly apart from the fact it wont get signal at all.
During fixing it i had to put a SD card in it because there wasnt one in it before, i followed all the steps in a guide for upgrading the SD card and it works fine for storage but bootloader says 'SD Unknown 12'
The SD card is a 16GB class 6 card.
Hardware wise i dont see what could be causing the signal issues so im trying to flash an RUU to see if that helps at all, BUT the RUU keeps giving an Error message saying File Write Error. And when i look at any details about the phone in bootloader or 'about' in settings the only thing i see out of place is the SD card details saying SD Unknown 12 in the bootloader.
Could this SD Unknown message be causing my RUU issues?
And how do i sort this out if its going to cause any issues aswell as this?
Any help or info would be greatly appreciated

I would say it's a possibility that one problem is causing the other. So eliminate one problem at a time.
Is the SD card new? Depending on the brand of card, like Samsung it could be locked... If the card came out of a WP7 device then it's probably locked too! WP7 devices seem to lock the cards and will only work in the device it was originally installed in, until its unlocked and wiped clean. Which can be done with a HD7, XBmod rom with cab, cab sender... but you can't flash, so you would need a Nokia device, Symbian or it can possibly be done on a pc, but would take some work and digging to get that figured out!
File write error usually indicates that remote access control has failed and to check the ActiveSync connection and try running RUU again.
Try unistalling and reinstalling ActiveSync and drivers or try a different pc completely! I had to use a different pc to get my HD7 to connect properly and run the RUUwrapper.

One other thing I would suggest too is... if replacing the SD card and your buying a new one, you might as well upgrade it to the 32gb for the extra memory. I just did mine yesterday and it seems to be faster and more responsive now too!
Thanks for the suggestions, I can't get ActiveSync to work so im going to try it in a virtual machine on XP to see if that works, the SD card is definitely locked because I can't access it through my card reader, might just try downgrade the bootloader and install RSPL and flash a new radio or nbh from the RUU. Hopefuly they won't conflict with the SD Unknown. I don't see why it should but time will tell. Just got to wait for a Y cable now. Thanks again for your help.

Yeah I had nothing but problems with ActiveSync on my laptop! I spent half a day trying to get the RUUwrapper to work. I switched to anoher laptop that I never hooked my HD7 too and it didn't even have Zune installed on it... within 20 mins I flashed HSPL and Deepshining!
Yeah goldcard/ Y cable should work for you.
I'm not sure why but I don't think it will work on a virtual machine. You can try it and if it does then great, if not then try it on a regular OS.

So, I went through the guide here to install HardSPL and a custom ROM (djkoa's 6.5) on my Tilt, mostly in preparation for wanting to give Android a shot.
It mostly went alright, I hit a snag with CID/SIM unlocking, in that I'm not sure whether it worked or not. The first time it ran it did some thing at least, popped up a program on my Tilt which I allowed to run, but I think there was an error or something, and since then attempts to re-run the unlocker just give me an "incompatible device" error.
But I considered it not worth much worry since I can't get a decent plan for this thing around here anyway. AT&T doesn't sell here, Sprint's too expensive, US cellular doesn't use SIMs, and I'm not sure T-Mobile's 3G is compatible with it anyway, unlocked or not. I just use it as a Wi-fi PDA basically.
What is worrying me though is that somewhere in the process I seem to have broken my 4GB SDHC card. Despite doing my best to follow the instructions in the guide on when to take out and put back the SD card, it got corrupted somehow in the process, with everything showing up as gibberish broken files that couldn't be removed.
I downloaded StorageTools, looking for a way to format the card without a card reader. I ran the Verify first and it did tell me there were errors, but rather than tell it to repair, I figured it be safer to just format the thing and start fresh.
So I formatted it, which took a while, but then when I went to copy over the android files, I got an error telling me the device was unavailable in the middle of copying one of the files.
So I decide to run another verify and repair, to make sure the install went OK. The same scan that had taken me a minute before took over an hour. It didn't throw up any errors, but since then everything I do with the SD card takes for goddamn ever.
Did I break my SD card somehow? Is the ROM/Radio(1.70.19.09) I'm using just have terrible/broken SD support?
How do I fix this, or do I just need to get another card?
OK, I seem to have solved my SD card issue. I think it was just a poor ROM, as I switched to another 6.1 ROM and now it runs fine.
I still have no idea if I successfully unlocked it though, nor do I know how to check.
Read the stickies.
Hello All,
I have a G1 which I got from US.. I am staying in Pune.. After returning here when I switched on the phone.. I get a notification stating Unmount SD card. I tried putting different SD cards but it doesnt get detected at all.. Seems a hardware problem as I tried doing a reset but it doesnt detect the card slot in recovery mode too.. It says the drive is unavailable. Can someone suggest me a place in Pune where I can get it fixed for sure... I tried calling HTC centre they said they need to check if the tattoo card slot or the strip is compatible with the G1.. Does anyone have idea if the card slots are compatible with G1..
Sounds almost like my problem. I haven't resolved anything yet though.
Might be a hardware problem, or might just be your phone locking down.

starting to think maybe my sd card fried cant get it to transfer files from my pc or to my pc it stalls out trying to format it but thats not working well either keep gettin windows cannot complete the format error or a sd card is locked message.... in other words having hell thinking about smashing it and filing on insurance.......

Did you see my help LINKS thread lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843
AFAIK you need the sync, cuz it gives you drivers, but there's many ways, go click around in my thread and after you get the basics done post back in here. It does sound like your sd card is borked though, if windows won't even format it. Are you s-off? Probably not Can you get to ADB? does it recognize your phone?
WAIT.... you can use recovery? Just grab another sd card and flash from scratch, no RUU, no nand restore, scratch, it should work.
If your s-off try reflash your recovery. If your not s-off then you should be. Then try to reflash your recovery.

Yeah after I posted that I remembered you were actually talking about recovering lost data on an sd, oops.
Just wanted to elaborate a little on this in case anybody searches for help and lands here.
The 'LINKS' thread Duce provided contains a link to an RUU (windows executable) which only requires the Android USB Driver is installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800586
You can download an Android USB Driver package separately.
You can also find the HTC Android USB Driver here (bottom of page).
I have used this many times, even on computers without AndroidSDK installed, just the driver package (I keep a zip on my SDCard ~8 MB).
wouldn't know of a way to fix my sdcard would ya

You might try and boot into a Linux Rescue Disk (i.e. RIPLinuX - (Bootable ISO X-Version))
Search right-click menu for GParted.
Run GParted, delete the partition(s), rebuild partition table, format new partition(s).
All this is done right in the GParted UI, just a few clicks.
This might help fix your problem, not really sure.
ive alway used my old mt3gs 4gig sd card.
Hello everyone, i just got the nexus one just to mess around with, its already rooted but no rom installed. My problem is that when I put my SD card in the phone and boot up the phone I get the message "SD card blank or has unsupported file system". I know theres threads on the topic but they seem not to work, I've also reformatted thesd card and nothing. Its a 32gb
Not sure of the brand, ill look and post it.
Try using a program like sdformatter and did you format to FAT32?
Try a different sd card to see if maybe it's the card itself that's bad
Yeah I tried sdformatter, yeah I tried formatting to Fat32, no the SD isn't bad,the computer recognizes it. Idk what's wrong
with sdformatter did you use full erase and size adjustment ON
i am not sure but a card may be able to be recognized and still can't be formatted or may be bad--again, not sure
Yeah I tried full erase but not with size adjustment on though, ill give it a try though. I know the SD card isnt bad because after trying to have the nexus read it, and I get the blank SD card error, I plug it into my computer and it will automatically ask me if I want to format the SD card because its corrupt, after I select yes the computer reads it just fine. I think it just might be the phone itself, I've tried countless solutions people have posted in other threads, and the phone is what, about 2 years old, it just might be slowly dying

Does N1 support 32 gb cards?
The N1 does support 32gb SD cards, I've gotten lucky and it read it, but after booting the phone up again I got the same message in the status bar, I think the problem might be with the rom on phone I don't know what rom its running but it looks like its a completely stock rom, or it could be the way the way the person rooted the phone, and I don't have a clue on how to unroot the phone. Yes I know its rooted I'm able to get superuser permissions.
you didn't say, unless i missed it, did you try another card
if so, and it is rooted can you tell what recovery is on phone clockwork or amonra
Sorry about that, yeah I tried and still am trying a 4gb SD card, I didn't root the phone, but when I got the memory card to work I flashed clockworkmod, I was going to reboot into recovey but when I pressed powered button I could only power off the phone, so I did and was going to boot into recovery through hboot, but when I selected recovery it just showed the picture of the android with the black background, so I rebooted the phone and kept on getting the error message, idk what I did to get the phone to read the SD card, I guess just luck.
Do you have the android sdk installed on pc do fastboot flash amonra 2.2.1 or maybe clockwork has that option. If it it the first time you may need to delete a couple files to have amonra stick. Clockwork 3+ did have some issues for some. Or you can check wiki and flash the correct passimg and go back to stock and start over. If you have means back up what you can. Not sure of your problem--sorry
Well it looks like the N1 is done, it won't even boot any more, looks like I'll be phone less for a while...the problem wasn't because it was rooted, I got it unrooted back on 2.2.1 then it updated to 2.3.? And it still had the sd card problem, I guess it was a sign that the phone was dying...r.i.p. n1 lol
Thank you ruggmankc for trying to help save my n1
sorry to hear that--
bright side is great phones are coming out this year and N1's can be bought at good prices if interested
